Women riders and ACC protest

[AllanB]

That has to be worth exploiting.

You need something to attract the public and media attention - do the protest topless - this appears to attract a large supporting (ha ha pun) crowd.

I just went into a fabric shop looking for yellow fluoro fabric (they didn't have any, so if you can find some please let me know!) Anyway the girl behind the counter asked what it was for and I told her it was for a motorbike protest ride.

"Oh!" she said, "you don't look like a biker!"

Well yes actually I look exactly like a biker. Because I are one!

Another time my partner and I went to the Matakana market. We were looking at stuff and wondering if we would be able to get it home on the bike. The lady there said,"you ride a motorbike?! It's good to see you look like normal people under your uniforms!"

Seriously, do people really think that every single person who rides a bike is a big bloke with a beard and tattoos?

They are so shallow, they can't see Adonis or Aphrodite underneath

Anne said to me the other day...''are you limping'?
I said....''no, thats my cool walk in bike gear''.......

I do walk differently in bike gear, must be the boots.....

Hmmm would the after party look like this?

I think its a great idea ... will flesh out with some of the ladies down this way.

[gilly]

I'm in - even if I am butt ugly and old - I'm still a proud lady rider.

[Ms Piggy]

its a great idea...can't join you in Auckland, but I will organise my own thing down here!

Hey Tarty - I'd be keen to joing whatever you organise for us chicks down this way.

You know I'm keen as a keen thang.

most excellent idea. i will keep a close eye on this thread for details

[Ms Piggy]

I am still keen to see if we can get a group of girlies (ok, women) riders together to add a different public face on the ACC protest action.

I'm assuming your thread is in response to this? http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...hlight=CHICKOI

Count me in... hopefully SOON my KB tshirt will arrive in pink I HOPE.....

PS: AllanB... stick to the one year you get your thrills, we be real bikers... not just topless pillions.

[Quasi]

Pretty much! However what I'm thinking of is more of a local ride (i.e. Auckland for me) as opposed to a large group of women forming a bloc within the National Bikeoi.

Klingons idea of riding from suburb to suburb is what I'd like to see; I'm formulating a possible path but would ladies like to form smaller subgroups and all meet en masse at one location centrally or all start from one meeting point and do a "cafe trail"?
